Issue Position: Quality Education for Our Kids

Issue Position

I will continue to advocate for policies that would help ensure that every child in Michigan, regardless of where they live, receives a quality education. I am a product of Michigan's traditional public schools and am a mom who wants the best possible education system for her daughter when she reaches school age. As a State Representative, I introduced legislation to address school closings, literacy, and school environmental assessments. I proudly co-sponsored legislation to help teachers with the resources and support systems they need to teach as well as legislation that would bring about greater transparency and accountability in our charter school system. I believe we can do more to ensure that our education system values the whole child -- not over-testing our kids and instead making sure they have access to arts and extracurricular options that keep them engaged in learning.
